A man who built an ‘apocalyptic bunker’ beneath his back garden now has the perfect place to self-isolate amid the killer coronavirus pandemic.

Colin Furze, an inventor, started work on the steel hideaway back in 2015, and admits that he’s glad he’s got a place to go now the entirety of the UK has been told to stay away from others.

The bunker, which is powered by a generator, comes complete with a bed, a kitchen which boasts a microwave and plenty of tinned and dried food, as well as Sky TV and even a drum kit.

There are homely touches too, a door mat at the bottom of the entrance ladders implores visitors to ‘Keep calm and come in’.
But the presence of a gas mask that Colin also keeps in the bunker reminds you just why it has been built in the first place.

Access to the huge underground structure is through a hidden trap door inside an innocuous-looking wooden shed.

It’s spacious too, measuring 24ft long and 16ft wide, with a ceiling height of 8ft in the middle of the room.
